Hi Bob,
Thanks for raising your query here.
Site24x7's Server Monitoring feature is an agent based
monitoring which will monitor the CPU, memory, disk and network
utilization of your Windows and Linux servers. On the other hand, On-Premise Poller is primarily an installable
agent required for monitoring resources on the intranet.
Say for example, you would want to monitor the uptime and
performance of a Windows server at your end. You can go ahead and
monitor the same by installing a Windows agent in the server. This
will also fetch the availability and performance of other services
and processes running on that server.
Incase you wish to monitor an intranet URL(say the employee
portal in your organization), you can install the On-Premise Poller
agent in one of the machines in the local network and monitor the
intranet URL.
Here are some screenshots of the metrics captured in both the features.

Ok thanks for your reply... does the On Premise Poller shows the
availability of server also or not ?

The On-Premise Poller can tell whether the server is up or down by doing
a ping test. The On Premise Poller has the following capabilities in it
: ping, URL, port, SSL etc.
One important deployment architecture difference between On-Premise
Poller and Server Monitoring agent is the On-Premise Poller is
agentless. You install the Poller only once on a server in the network
and all monitoring will take place from this specific installation.
If only uptime is what you want, then the poller is a good bet to
monitor servers. However to get server monitoring coverage, use the
agent based "Server Monitoring".
